Reuse and Recycle

Get savvy about reusing water when you can. For example, don’t throw away the water left in drinking glasses or pet dishes—use it to water the plants instead. And those ice cubes that fall on the floor? Those can be placed directly into plant pots. The same goes for the water you use to wash vegetables. Additionally, water that's been used to steam vegetables can be used as the foundation for a tasty soup or stock.
